I definitely prefer the ANSI left shift key, but I am keeping my ISO enter key, thank you. Indeed, I have a keyboard with an ANSI left shift and an ISO enter key. But honestly, why not just use US Intl AltGr dead keys?

In Europe, E-routes require a clear height of 4 metres, which is the maximum allowance for a regular vehicle. So if you're a trucker, you can be safe in knowing that driving on an E-route, means your vehicle will clear all bridges. Th

The situation may obviously have changed today, it's been a few years since I last worked with Pascal. Back around 2016, we were looking for a different way of communicating between our services (you could kind of see them as micro-se

According this graph[0], there were over 1 million cheque payments in Greece, Germany, Cyprus, Malta, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France in 2020. I recognise that the data is a bit dated, but it still seems like these countries mai

Cheques allow you to give someone a large amount of money (that would be too unmanageable with cash) without knowing anything about them but their name. Don't need to know an account number or a phone number/email address. Prett

I recently learnt that Denmark and the US are the only two countries with a fixed debt limit. Several other countries have relative to GDP debt limits. The purpose is the same; to ensure that executive branch can borrow money without havi

Whilst this is purely speculation on my part, I have always assumed the reason they settle rather than go to court is because they don't actually want the patents invalidated. The patents serve as a barrier to entry into the market.

I remember working on a large database without foreign keys for a while. When asked why did not use foreign keys, I was told that they didn't like the opaqueness of CASCADE, which I could understand. I guess I did not give it much th

Indeed. The butter I buy here in Denmark is also 80% fat, and it tastes nothing like the blandness of US butter. Speaking personally, though, I definitely prefer Danish butter to French butter, but French butter is still really good.

As a Dane, I feel like if it's coffee with cheese, shouldn't it be ostekaffe? Kaffeost suggests it's a cheese with coffee flavour. Though, I have never heard of this either.

Out of curiosity, I noticed (as I mentioned in a reply to your sibling) I could produce unrelated results by fiddling with the region; does changing region do anything for you?

I normally use "Denmark" as a region, but turning it on and off did not change my search results much (three zazzle links and a copysite of this HN thread, but not HN itself). Changing the region to "USA" really confused

But even when "they" is used as a singular pronoun, its verb conjugation doesn't change from its plural variant. It's still "they are", even when singular.

Similarly, the Danish terms are »styrbord« and »bagbord«, respectively. »Bagbord« comes from »bag« (back) meaning the backside of the sailor steering the boat, because they would be facing the steering side (»styrbord«; »styr« still means

I tried the Nokia 225 4G. Unfortunately, it saves the SMS and MMS to the SIM card, not internal storage, so you quickly run out of storage for SMS/MMS, and you'll need to constantly delete SMS. So I switched to the Punkt MP02. I
